this is possible since Tcx provides an ODBC driver for Win; therefore it
is seamless to etasblish a connection wherever the mysql server is
running.
1) install the driver - see the homepage of mysql.com
2) there is a (little bit hidden) menu in Win for installing ODBC
drivers - open it
and click on sources, and if the installation was successful you should
see the mysql driver
3) give a name for the new connection, IP etc. user name
4) tell mysql this new user - if not implemented
5) don't use a password
for access:
use file - external data - tables connect
you can read and write into your MySQL tables!
